Classification Change Leaves Most Registrants Unmoved
The Selective Service revision alters few status changes for Frederick's 18 to 33 year old registrants. Fathers gain 3-A and possible 3-D status, but most remain in 3-B or 2-A/2-B. Inductions likely speed up for those in 3-B moving toward 3-A, with hardship cases in 3-D rare. Only nine officials in Frederick qualify for 4-B deferment, including two Circuit Court judges and seven General Assembly members.
